Well, all I know is that they are still accepting I-140 applications. I am sure they will continue to do so until the bill is passes. (If it will pass)

Just a quick update I efiled on Sept 22nd 2009. Was assigned to LIN, Nebraska. Sent supporting documents the next day by first class mail. Received 2 copies of advance parole in the mail yesterday. Checked online this morning case was approved on October 2nd 2009. So basically from filing online to approval took 10 days total. I am amazed.

Hey guys
Just received email from CRIS regarding I-485 denial notice for both me and my wife.
I used AC21 after 9 months of filing I-485. My I-140 was approved before even filing I-485 in July fiasco.
My attorney promptly sent AC-21 and G-28 and i did see LUD on my and my wife's I-485 after that.
My previous company informed me sometime ago that they are going to revoke I-140 and probably they did and i am assuming that's what triggered this.
This is certainly a big damm mistake they did even after sending AC-21 docs and G-28.
Sorry to hear about this but
If your employer revoked I-140 after 180 days of filing 485 and you did work for the employer who filed 140 for 180 days after filing 485 you will win with USCIS. Wait for the denial notice to find the reason, then file for Motion to reopen with your lawyer's help.
Your employer should not have revoked 140 (bummer) and if he did it after 180 days it cant be the reason for denial unless someone at USCIS just did the job in their usual way (read they dont read rules which they should follow day to day)
Hope it helps! Good Luck

Hello there,
I called it took me less than 5 minutes. I expressed my concern and the lady on the phone said she will pass on the message. However the Rep at present has not made any stand. Guys come on make some calls.
To the administrator and the to the Senior members, an idea came to my mid in order to galvanize some lazy members to work with us, can we restrict their entries to this website? Maybe keep something like, access will be granted only if a certain criteria is fulfilled.
It is a shame for all the Indians who are stuck and waiting for others to help them through this, my suggestion either work with everyone on this, or simply just go back to India, where they system is even more corrupted.
Last but not the least, people here are not wasting their time, neither unemployed, but they want to stand a fight for what's right and what's wrong.
I thought coming from India, will make us all stand united, but some people just don't care neither act but complain to god for their grievances.
Guys get up, move, help us out, we all need each other on this. Revolution can only bring a change---- not the wait and not the complaint.

First thanks to those who put there first hand experience in this thread, it made me think again. And now I am deciding to cross the border and go north, after 9+ years in US on H1b.
Could someone please refer a Do-it-yourself kit that they have used and/or immigration consultant?
I contacted one consultant, they email almost every week and when I called/emailed them saying I am ready to pursue there has been no response from other side yet.
It will be great help for me if you could refer a kit or a consultant.
Looking forward to join H1->Canada community :D
Thanks

Fragomen applied for my PERM application last year. The rule is - either advertisement start date or end date should fall in "wage survey duration of 3 months". They didn't follow that. And my PERM got denied. Immediately they applied for my PERM. And it's stuck in Audit. And not to mention, even though it was their mistake, they took fees from employer for filing 2nd PERM.. saying DOL wasn's clear about this rule, and never rejected any application before for this reason.. So its not their mistake!!

Seems like USCIS worked over the weekend (TSC), my EAD approved on June 28 and my wife's on June 27. Our paper based applications received by TSC on June 4th.
Wife's Current Status: Card production ordered.
My Current Status: Approval notice sent.
I am not sure why status is different, any ideas?

You need to file for I-140 before 10/1/07.
For that you need to have an aproved Labor.
Bear in mind this is just one of the opinions out there (albeit the most prevalent)
Nothing is final yet, untill CIR passes both houses and signed by the president before 09/30/07. (Though it looks highly likely now)
I have gone through the text of old bill (page 265) and new bill (page 291). There is no difference b/w the two.
I believe cut off date will be Jun 19, 2007.
Please read page 286, line 40-44 and then read Section 502 d, on page 291 line 40-44.
Sigh...

I had been there in US for 7 yrs (3 yrs in L2->1yr out of US->4 Yrs in H1B). Saw the myths and tragedy of US GC process very closely. Didn't want to spoil peace of life and my hard earned money with USCIS and lawyers:mad:. Didn’t look at the US GC application and applied for Canadian PR. Came to Canada with PR last year from US. Peacefully settled in Toronto with nice job and benefits, bought my brand new car 4 months back. Nice and friendly people and government. Happy to be in Canada. No more stamping issues, tons of junk paper works, consulate visit PA and wired look from immigration officers at POE…. enough…. I am not going back to US even for a visit in next 5 yrs..…
But I can go out of Canada and enter any time and as many time as I want. Can you do that too???? :D
To those who are portraying wrong picture of Canada, all I can say, if you have skills, personality and capability, you’ll succeed anywhere in this world, be it in US, Canada or Australia. Don’t blame it on a country, but look at yourself.
Just my 2 cents.
Hello PAL
I also came to Toronto in 2007. I was a F1->H1B tired of the H1B dance through stamping,
body shopper etc. I came in 2007, did MBA at U of T....doing well now. Yes Canada is tough job market but eventually it is working out....but hey US under H1B is tougher and worse. I never regret the decision. If I have to take the decision again, I will take the same decision.
One thing for sure...I am definitely better than US H1B mess, changing place to place like nomads for projects and yes better than the 1.5 typical travel to work on jammed roads in India or hour long travel in Mumbai locals.
I think of working in US in future but never under the mess of H1B body shopper. I will try TN1 visa (now 3 years). I am not against working on H1B but not under the desperate terms that one has to typically do if one has Indian passport. The way i see is that skilled immigration to US is over under Eb2-I/Eb3-I. A lot of people have yet to accept the reality.

Despite of all the good things (in theory) in those countries, their racist attitude towards colored people make them less desirable than US. I have not been to EU/Aus but been to Canada at least a dozen times, and personally i feel US is a LOT BETTER country to live for colored people.

I dont think many labors were filed between september 2001 and Dec 2002. Due to bad market and frequent layoffs during that time. My guess is EB3 will get to 2003 soon, may be before end of this year.
Would love to see that happen... waiting with PD of aug 2002 :-(

Most countries do not have 9,800 EB applicants every year - in fact, most countries use well under 1,000.
The total number of applicants from other countries can be derived from roughly estimating number if H1 holders, adjusting for Indians and Chinese, and then dividing by 2 (50% of H1Bs never end up getting a green card), and then multiplying by 2 to adjust for derivatives. The bottom line - there are visas available in EB2 ROW and EB1 categories (which are current, meaning, undersubscribed), that are getting redistributed to EB3 ROW. This is why EB3 in total is using more than its share of 140,000 EBs. In fact, I believe the dates will be moving pretty fast on EB3 ROW, it will probably get all current in a couple of years.
Yes. The overflow will go to EB3 ROW first and then to the over subscribed countries and will get evoporate :) The avaiable visa's then goes back to square one. This is why at times EB3 ROW is also getting back logged and many in ROW oppose this trend as well.
I am of the opinion that there should not be any country specific quota in EB at all. When it is already proved that no American is available for the skill set required and being substituted with a Foreign worker, then from where the nationality came in to the picture? Does the companies bother about the skill set required or the nationality? If not, then why USCIS should bother about it and create a mess in the work force? I hope they will realize this soon and make amendments accordingly.
Thanks

Hi all,
This discussion is very valuble for people like me deciding between living in Canada as PR vs H1B USA .We all know that salaries in USA are slightly better than Canada .But now the exchange rate is almost equal.
Salary:
Can a person with family(2 kids) survive in Canada with CAD 50,000 / year salary in a place like Toronto.? I heard in Canada you pay 13 % tax on anything you buy .Does 50 % of your income goes in taxes ?
HealthCare:
Also is the government sponsored health care good compared to USA .I mean do you have any wait to see specialists.Is healthcare comparable to USA .
Immigration:
In USA anyone can get a Greencard regardless of their qualifications and it depends how early you enter the GC queue.But looks like in Canada they value your educations and other qualifications.Can IT professionals (non-managers) apply for Canada PR without a job or canadian education?
Canadian Citizenship:
Many people want to get Canadian citizenship and return to USA with TN Visa .In future ,could USA put restrictions on this .?
Please share your thoughts .
Thankyou
Bharat,

Thank you for taking the time to share your views regarding immigration. I would like to take the opportunity to respond to this important issue.
There are currently over 38 million foreign-born individuals living in the United States, which accounts for nearly 13 percent of the total U.S. population. Nearly one-third of this foreign-born population is estimated to consist of undocumented or illegal residents; a clear indication that our immigration system is broken. While a number of bills have been introduced concerning various elements of immigration reform, the issue has yet to come before the full Senate. I am currently evaluating a number of policy options, and will remain mindful of your thoughts on this subject as we proceed in the 111th Congress.
Again, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with me regarding this issue. It is an honor and privilege to serve the people of the great State of Florida in the United States Senate. I take great pride in being a native Floridian, and I look forward to the tremendous opportunity to better the lives of all Floridians. I assure you I will work hard to represent our state to the best of my ability in the U.S. Senate. If I can be of any further help to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Appu, I found it! Frist's bill says that for foreign applicants with advanced degrees in STEM from an accredited US grad program (no matter when they graduated), notwithstanding the applicant's eligibility for US permanent residence, the applicant can file for adjustment of status if the applicant has an immigrant petition filed under one of the EB categories.
This means that the applicant does not have to undergo labor certification at all! This is because for a person that wants to work in the US is only eligible for US permanent residence if the applicant undergoes labor cert.
See p. 217 of S2454, lines 8-9. This applicant is still subject to the quotas and has to wait for a visa number for approval of adjustment of status.
Both bills allow "special handling" for applicants with advanced degrees who have worked in the US for three years. I am confused about how exactly that works. My brother-in-law is a college prof and he had to go thru PERM labor cert, though they used the results of his original recruitment and didn't have to file fresh ads. So I am not sure if the "special rule labor cert" in 8 USC 1182 (a)(5)(A)(ii) directly relates to Schedule A.
But these applicants don't have to wait for a visa number and are exempt from the quota.
An applicant with a US grad STEM degree and 3 years experience probably can go right to I140/485 concurrent without labor cert and is not subject to Labor cert or any quota.
Yeah, that's the tricky part. I think all professions that require advanced
degrees in STEM have been classified (by Section 406) as Schedule A.
Which means you file ETA form 9089 directly to USCIS NOT to the DOL.
That's the "special labor certification" that the Specter mark-up refers to.
The PACE act doesn't have this provision - it excludes future F4 visa graduates from labor certification but says nothing about the current advanced degree holders. Frist's bill seems to exempt all those with advanced degrees and are employed in their field of expertise from going to the DOL for certification. Plus, if you have been employed for 3 years or more, then the quota doesn't apply and you get a visa number right away.
